Thanks, did not know, that offering compensation was illegal. Thanks for the information. Guess I will post a new thread and take out the offer of compensation.... Thanks again.

Actually, payment is illegal, sharing C.O.L. expenses with a non-licensed skipper or bringing usable stores aboard is legal. The last time that I looked at that there was a specific loophole that covered that in the US boats for charter regs. Of course individual states may have a more stringent requirement that I am not familiar with.

Unless the sailor you are looking for has a licence it would be illeagle for them to take any form of payment to help you. That includes food or even taking a coke. I am sure however there are many a sailor who would love to have some crew. So take heart just don''t ask us to break the law..
